Site: Kenaston/Brightwater Creek Mesonet Site

Type	Variable	Frequency	Period	Availability	Storage	Note
Meteo	Air temperature, RH, wind speed and direction, barometric pressure, net radiation, net radiation components (incoming and outgoing longwaveradiation and; incoming and outgoing shortwave radiation); soil heat flux, soil temperature, precipitation, rainfall, snow depth, above canopy photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD)	30 min	2007-2018	Public	Database	There is one main flux tower for surface mass/energy measurements since 2007. Several Alter-shielded Geonoraccumulation strain gauges are used to measure the solid/liquid precipitation.
						Regional MSC climatological data from Davidson (within <40 km) available through EC for period from 1922 – present.
						Main Pasture Meteorological data are between (2013-2018 for RH_Cnpy50cm, ST_0cm, ST_0to10cm /E/W, WSMAX_AbvCnpy2m/4m/8m) and (2015-2018 for AT/RH/VP_AbvCnpy02m/04m/08m, TargetDist_TempCor, ) and (2007-2015 for AT/RH/VP_AbvCnpy1d5m/3d0m/6d0m).
Eddy covariance flux data	Latent heat flux, sensible heat flux, friction velocity, momentum flux,	30 min	2007-2018	Public	Database	There is one main flux tower for surface mass/energy measurements since 2007. Temporary (seasonal) sites established in 2009 and 2010 for eddy covariance.
	CO2 flux (temporary sites only)			Local	Files
Soil moisture	Soil volumetric water content profiles	4 hr	2013-2018	Local	Database	Geological (deep well) weighing lysimeter for large scale soil moisture / evaporation measurement.
						Has 2 transects (100mSE & 190mSE) and each one has different heights(005,020,050,075,100,130,160cm)
						Also available are the datasets from field survey campaigns of spatial variability of soil moisture and snow water equivalent (SWE).
Hydrometric	Discharge		1960-2013	Local/EC	Files	Streamflow measurements for Brightwater Creek available through WSC since 1960
